Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Greenock Creek Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

Wine Advocate

A sleeper offering is the 2003 Cabernet, an old French oak-aged 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. I have been drinking up my stash of the 1997, and it remains very young at ten years of age. Made from 15-year-old vines with yields of 1.5 tons of fruit per acre, it offers beautiful sweet black currant fruit interwoven with notions of cherries, road tar, cedar, and spice box. It would be interesting to insert this classic, top-flight Cabernet Sauvignon in a blind tasting of the finest Bordeaux. A beautiful full-bodied texture and sweet tannin suggest it will keep for 10-15 years. (RP 10/2006))
